Looking for Details for Chinese print?
I bought these 6 small prints directly from the artist when I was visiting the Songzhuang Art Colony outside of Beijing in the 90's. Now I want to sell it, but everything on it is in Chinese, which I can't understand. I don't know the artist's name or what is written below each print in pencil. Although I can read the date: 1988.
I am hoping to find out who the characters are and whatever info is in the handwritten description taped to the back of the frame. Can anyone help? TIA
